Lions Roaming the Streets?

       Just the other day, 911 recieved many calls referring to a baby lion walking around the streets of Norfolk, Virginia. People were shocked to see this and said that it could have possibly escaped from the nearest zoo. In fact, the creature was not a lion at all, rather an innocent dog. This labrador-poodle mix was shaved and spray painted to look exactly like a lion, which scared many people living in the city of Norfolk. The owner, Daniel Painter stated that he wanted his dog to represent the mascot of Old Demoin University. Why the dog was roaming the streets alone like a wild animal, I don't know. I think that Painters claim that it represents a University mascot is false and that he probably just wants to rile up the people of Norfolk, perhaps to gain publicity.
      Well... his planned worked! Charles has turned into a "celebrity" since the sighting a couple days ago. The dog even has its own facebook page which already has over 30,000 followers. I personally believe that it is wrong to shave and spray paint your dog to make it out as another animal. Not only do people want to see what looks very much like a lion walking down their street, but it is also cruel to the animal. How do you feel about this man turning his labrador into a lion look-alike? To read more about this article visit: http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/10/us/virginia-baby-lion/index.html?hpt=us_c2
